Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.

This is a fine basic top for work: slightly detailed but otherwise unadorned. It’s great by itself over interesting pants or a skirt (perhaps with a brooch or an opera-length necklace), as well as beneath a cardigan or jacket. It’s also a great price, as it’s currently on sale at Banana Republic for $14.99 (was $34). (Last we checked, there were lots of sizes available in black, turquoise, and orange, and only limited sizes left in the other colors.) Women: Long-sleeve shirred top – Black
